BRIGHT SKIES FOR BRUNSWICK.
;(By J. W. Simmons, President of ttu
Brunswick Board of Trade.)
The Brunswick Board of Trade is
happy to extend to the citizens of
Brunswick the most bountiful felici
tations for the holiday season. It feels
assured that this season of happiness
good cheer holds promise of near
future development far beyond the
dreams of years that are now history
We beg also, to thanks, to the
great nuinber of fjhinswick’s fine olt
izens who have so magnanimously giv
en of their time, advice and money to
the plans and work of their trad*
body In such a splendid spirit of co
operation and manifest interest In the
results we have endeavored to a*
complish. Without this generaus spir
It, are are frank to confess, our efforts
would largely have neen -*futlle. A!
the same time, wo earnestly desire
that, now theiprospect seems roseate
and the earnest of the times point to
a brighter and better future, each cit:
lzen redouble his efforts in service
for the good of all.
Let every vestige of vain glorying,
envy, jealousy, selfishness, back-bit
lug. harsh and unmerited criticism
antagonism for personal ends and un
warranted sensitiveness be buried wtl
the past that is now dead. God gran'
that there may arise from the ashes
of their consumption a sublime faith
and confidence, a community prid*
and a civic devotion that will brol

ambitious hopes.
Much has been left undone by your
trade body In the way of its plans fo
real local work in providing better llv
Ing conditions, better recreation, more
beautiful prospects In our streets
parks aod squares, better develop
meat of our prime asset —our raisinr
generation, better synchronised and
cooperative effort through all chan
nels toward these ends; but in the or
ganlzation of its aelvltles, it was res
Hied that first came our efforts to gain
the attention of the outside world and
lay most stress on our commercial
life. The’ plans for Ureal condition.'
are being worked out. ami we fell sur.
1 hat 1922 will leave nothing to be de
sired in this respect.
It Is beside the point to review th*-
work don- during the year that is now
past. Results accomplished stand for
themselves, and we are assured that
those to follow the w< rk of this year
will show in the main the broad and
lasting foundation that has been laid
primarily deep In the hearts of Brunt
wick's cltixens themselves in the splr
It that now seems to b© prevalent
In eon sideline the buds of the f! it

other parts of the nation, as w©n

another rlth eurcw of valuabl© <W
u©cttatiMM*thn matter ©f the state
■ port, on which project Brunswick has
gone to work, in eral earnest. While
confident of ultimate victory in the
matter we are leaving no effort un
spared to let the state at large know
that no better harbor exists than the
one we have here. Every citizen can
help in this matter by mention in his
correspondence of not only the neces
sity for such a development on thf
part of the state, but also that its lo
cation should be such as to render the
greatest good to the greatest number
We have steadfastly refused to lie
that no project appears too big for
us to tackle. We have gone on the
adage, “Nothing Ventured, nothing
gained,’ ’and following that, we prob
ably made some fanciful and absurd
requests of railroads, large corpora
tions, and national figures in the in
dustrial life of America. The least we
can receive is a refusal, qualified with
a promise of results for us If thingr
break right.
We haves teadfastly refused to lie
down on our backs and whine when
seeming friends hive double-crossed
us. We have endeavored to stand
up on our hind legs* and fight like he
mfeh for what we think belongs to us
We believe in the doctrine enunciat
ed by Dr. FVank Crance* who, in
speaking of Nature’s purpose, says, “It
is that she is intent on trying us by
every conceivable method, to see if
we are faraid. And when a man sim
ply will not get scarfed, at danger plain
cr spooky, she gives up trying and
hands over to him the keys of the
Kingdom.” The same argument ap
ples to"cities. Brunswick has had ev
iery posible discouragement. In the
past, we have been content to take
going ofter the whole loaf, and believe
the crumbs. Thank God, we are now
we will get it. *
Too much credit cannot be given to
■the faithful ones of Brunswick w r ho
have fought during all these years
: past to hood the ground. Raw r deals
have been handed them. Shortsight-,
ed citizens have gummed up their
plans for personal ends, seeking to
make a few paltry dollars. The putv
lie purse is now considered more iui
portant than the private, and may the
day soon come when every citizen
shall be satisfied to grow as, and
when, his city grows and prospers,
and not endeavor.) to kqep Jt down to a,
iize fhdt give’s him the reins of mon
opoly in his particular interests.
Provincialism is a blessing to a
favored few; metropolitanism, with
olenty of competition and an univesal
*pirt of “my city first,” will mean a
greater good for a larger number.
Small’ town wayK have never found
place In the cities that flourish. If
the city outgrows the ways of a few
citicens. they should seek shelter with
their smal-town fellows where they
can control; but for the sake of all
that means progress and prosperity
Tor the average rellow. Jet them not
shoot spit halls at the brass band, and
popguns at the procession, at is pass
es them
Finally, at the dose of this patch
work article, let us have the rlvilege
of changing the personal pronoun to
the singular number. Let me. as the
President of the very best trade body
in the State, express my hearty appre
ciation of \avlng had the opportunit>
*.o serve. As the present administra
tion draws Its activities to a close, I
wish to thank the membership for
the honor they conferred over a year
igo, and plead for the same spirit of
;ervice and co-opeiative effort for the
Incoming administration as has beer.
*lven by you in the past. To each

jot all times this Christmas season,
and the best available brand of pros
perlty in 1922. ! thank you.
CHRISTMAS DAY
AN APPRECIATION
Christmas Day, like all other day:-
of the year. Is a fleeting day. but i is
1 fleeting day that memorializes an
abiding fact. This day speaks to the
world In Time's voice of the epoch of
the greatest event since creation—
the birth of Jesus Christ.
The day dawns and clozes; the year
waxes and #anes. the centuries nd
igea roll their ponderous cycles on
Into distance and desuetude, but the
.Christ abides unchangeable and In
force forever. He is not a person of
lay. nor y-t of an age; He Inhabits
rternlty. This is His natal day onh
In time, the self-assertion of His ter
sal person In the form of human na
ture, and in the history of the world
He was horn from eternity Into time
and that event seized the whole calen
dar of history. Around Hts birthday
ircles every movement of time, and
unto His star all the ends of the earth
vre looking and moving. Over His
birthplace and date the angels of
heaven are still caroling and their
song (Ills all of the Immensity of the
universe. Listening earth answers
hack to Heaven in the paean of praise.

THE BRUNSWICK NEWS
arose from the impenetrable security
ot the ages, and hundreds, thousands
’.nd millions upon millions saw the
?reat light and began to walk the
Mghw r ay of G*cd in Him,
The world began to be a.flew crea
tion on the day He was born and he
is the Creator. Under the swyy of
His holy and loviiig genius the world
is constantly reforming into a better
brighter and gladder world. That day
he long night of the ages began van
ishing from the earth before the lifeht
of His face, and the blighting curse
*f sin to fall from manhood, woman
hood. and childhood forever. *“
In its Godward reach v/hole
world m:ves upward aroundthe soli-
tary form of His person as its central
un, and in the majesty and energy
of His all-wielding power the proph
ets and people arfe seeing the vision
and cheHshing th c hope Of universal
brotherhoed, universal love, and uni
versal peace. From the nisi until this
blessed day of His Grace, all the
Christmas Days are Time and Heaven-lit
signals in the triumphant march of
he years and ages toward this bliss
ful goal.
This is the world s restive day unto
the King of\ings. "Let earth receive
her King,” and up to the star-embat
tled Heavens let the world’s song of
adoration roll like the sound of mighty
waters.
May the Heavenly calm of His
peace rest upon the bosoms of all the
people; may passion be quelled, and
intemperance die; may cruelty, greed,
false dealing, malice, pride, unbelief,
and all selfishness perish in the holy
fire of His glory.
Let the people lift up reverent
hearts into the exalted ecstasy of the
angels, and mingle their voices of wor
ship in the symphonies of heaven un
to God in the highest.
For though we find him in lowly
manger, and with the swaddling of
opverty abou His form on that far
gone Christmas Day, He is the Christ
of Cod and the savior of the world;
He is now ascended to the throne of
the majesty on high, and he is crown
ed with a name tat he above every
name. t
Let the world’s wisdom and wealth
how before Him for the consecration
of His grace, and His blessings 0 f His
good \yill to all mankind*' In the en
ergy of His love may the’strength of
all men be refined to tenderness and
noble bearing; may the beauty and
Influence cf all women be chastened
into white and holier grace, and may
all Vf the little children be guarded
in innocence and rmrlty of life, and
n.av their play be cafe free and happy. !
K’o-* lo! the days are hastening on.
By prdphet-bard foretold.
When the ever-circliirg years
C<?mes round the ages of gold;
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendor fl*ng. $
And the whole world send back the
song
Which now the angels sing.
/A THOUGHT FOR THE DEPARTING
YEAR. *
In
when the new one stands on tl** very
threshold of time, one finds ample
material for retrt spectiou. and for
prophecy! Ac the period forms an
epoch in the calendar of time it also
marks a pivot In the life of men and
-women and in the stage of progress or
decay <f nations and of states. Those
who are today breathing the pure at
mosphere of this dying year will not
prolong the lease of life sufficiently to
live In another with mor radiance;
with more sunshine and with mope
flowers to breathe their fragrance.
No tenderer hands will minister to
the brow when anguish wreaths In It
her merciless grasp. The birds will

not blend beautifully blue, nor

whence ail benedictions find their re

enfbers of which are today to silent
tread, crossing into the fathomless
past, into whose boundless expanses
are numbered all of the years that
have preceded it mothers have pour

will have dme in ail the years to
come. Fraternity has been as loyal
to its precepts and friendship, tender
and true. * immeasurable as the sky.

lives!
And surely it is not within the jjift
of the sculptor to carve from purest
marble, with all f the Inspirations of
the poet’s heifrt. such women as have
served to grace th*- vear are soon to
hid farewell, when *he glorious sun
of Its last day shall have plowed Its
way through the azure hues of the
western sky- Could the 1 ver find as
nuinv starlit nights as have been
vouchsafed to him in the past short
twelve months that have now winged

Keeping pace with all
the gifts of the dead year has been
the one real light that shines out from
the gates of Bethlehem and the ser
mon on the Mount had been given to
the world by deeply imbused emissar
ies whose very lives have been sacri
ficed upon this sacred and soul-refin
ing altar of love —duty—Christianity:
In short it seems to us that the dear,
old dying year In spite of readjust
tnents in the commercial world that
have caus'■ : all more or less of
woe, has been all that she could be —
vielding, indulgent and tolerant to the
frailties of T ‘ature. To the afflicted
she has brought balm, and into dark
places the light of her sunshine has
penetrated. She will not come this

her visitation we are reminde i of

To make some pale face brighter, and
to give
A second luster to some tear-dimmed
